An Eastern paper is of the opinion that until
umpires' salaries increased that able and
competent men will apply for the position, the
base ball magnates will not secure what they
badly want-frst-class men. If the salaries are
increased. the most reputable men in the bust
will try secure the positions. and after
being selected man should be removed
unless five clubs object to him. Coaching should
be done away with, and no man, not even the
captain. DO allowed to say word to the umpire
during the progress of the game. Until this is
done the beauties of the game will be marred.
